Nothing fancy ! I marinated chicken with honey, mango vinegar and a lot of different spices (cumin, coriander, cinnamon, turmeric, cloves, cardamom). Adding honey in the marinade wasn’t super smart as it almost burnt when I cooked it, but no burnt flavor so we’re good.
The purée is mainly sweet potato with a little bit of carrot and yellow onion, and obviously a shit ton of garlic. Cooked everything in homemade chicken stock, added cream and mixed with a few cubes of cold butter for emulsion.
For the sauce I used some honey, spices (same ones as the marinade) and homemade chicken jus, monté with just a tiny bit of butter to mellow the strong flavor of the sauce while keeping it nice and glossy.
Sesame seeds on top and scallions.
